Design incoming
We are currently in the design stage for Wollongong City Centre skate park.
We are working with internationally-renown skate park design firm, CONVIC to deliver a skate facility in Wollongong City Centre that will serve the community for years to come.
We held a survey with the community from Thursday 9 May to Friday 24 May 2024. We heard from 130 people who gave us a wide range of things to consider in the design of Wollongong City Centre skatepark.
Read the News Feed to hear what the community wanted in the new design.
We have now handed over the findings to CONVIC who will work to create a skatepark that considers all the wants and needs of the community. We will keep you updated along the way.

There is a lot is happening behind the scenes for Wollongong City Centre Skatepark at the moment. We are working closely with CONVIC to go through all the feedback we heard between March – June this year. CONVIC looked at sites with us during the engagement period and they’re now working with us to consider what the community wanted, how it would work in the site and how that works with our budget.
We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop with further updates in the coming months.

Over 130 people completed the online pre-design survey for the new skatepark in Wollongong City Centre. Around 40 people attended the in-person workshops with CONVIC at our Wollongong Youth Centre back in April. The online survey told us the preferred style of skatepark in Wollongong City Centre was a ‘Street and Plaza’ style. This was also heard at the workshop:
The next time we go out to community will again be with CONVIC and will have roughly a 50 percent completed skate design. In-person and online engagement opportunities will happen again, including priority for targeted female and gender diverse engagement. We will let you know when we are planning to do our next engagement activities on the Draft Concept Design for Wollongong City Centre.
